X-POS - 2 in 1: Online Point-of-sale system exclusively for Magento

POS, as point-of-sale, is a common term for every business. POS terminals, referring to the hardware and software used for the checkouts at the location where a transaction occurs, also means a robust and expensive system related to the business core, the selling process.

What will happen if you operate the online and offline shop at the same time? Manually update the stock each time an order is placing in one of those shops?

Can it work with barcode printer for use backend and barcode scanner for frontend?

admin says:

Hi Marjolein,
Just a simple scanner, a printer and a credit card machine will be enough to deploy our solution in your physical location. Since the X-POS uses Magento as webfront, it's fully integrated in your backend and does not require any specific hardware. The X-POS is built separately from the X-Barcode extension, you might need to purchase the X-Barcode if you want to generate product barcode from product ID/SKU and to manage order by barcode.
Best,

Thank Andrew for the compliment and feedback. Since we want to keep the order real, the rounding option is not included in this extension release. But it's an interesting idea, we will consider this point in the Premium package. Are you actually using a specific POS with your Magento webshop?

admin says:

Hi Davis,
The X-POS can use the barcode scanner to put products into order. This operation needs to be performed in the X-POS interface (in Magento backend but used as POS front). This extension did not support the barcode generating and printing, these actions can be done with our X-Barcode extension.
Best,

Hello,
Can X-POS be used in magento shops with configurable products?

admin says:

Hi Erik,
The X-POS can be used with configurable products, you will have to configure the product after adding it to the shopping basket. But since in the physical store, most of the products are the simple one, configurable products might not be very convenient for shop operation.
Hope that answer your questions.

Hi. I have just had a look at your POS extension. Looks great!
One thing you might want to add (for Australian customers) is a rounding option when paying cash.
Cheers
Andrew

Do you need special hardware for this package? Does it integrate with your barcode extension?
